Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater rebuilds Metal Gear Solid 3 with drastic visual upgrades, modernized controls, and selective gameplay additions that justify the remake. The game is set in 1964 amid Cold War tensions between the US and the Soviet Union, where Snake infiltrates Soviet territory to rescue rocket scientist Sokolov and prevent a superweapon deployment. The story blends historical events with fantastical elements, heightening stakes through mentor betrayal when The Boss defects. Character dynamics and motives deepen emotional investment. The remake preserves core stealth mechanics while polishing presentation and accessibility, positioning it as the definitive way to experience the original.
In an age of video game remakes and remasters, some developers have taken varying steps to modernize older titles. Last year, Konami and developer Bloober Team took a stab at their first remake of " Silent Hill 2," which was built from the ground up and gave it both graphical and mechanical overhauls to modernize the horror classic. Remakes like "The Last of Us Part 1" were almost identical to their original versions, which puzzled some fans as the PS4 remaster was perfectly playable according to modern standards.
As a beat-by-beat remake of 2004's "Metal Gear Solid 3," 2025's "Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater" feels like a mix of both, though tilting towards the latter, but it has just enough tweaks and new additions to justify its existence. With drastically improved visuals and a modern control scheme, "Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater" is the definitive way to experience one of the greatest stealth games of all time.
The game takes place in 1964 during the middle of the Cold War between the US and Soviet Union. Our protagonist, Snake (David Hayter), has to infiltrate the Soviet Union in order to rescue a Russian rocket scientist named Sokolov. It does a fantastic job utilizing real-world events to create a riveting historical fiction setting. There's a natural sense of escalation when Snake must also stop the Soviet Union from deploying a deadly superweapon that could destroy the US.
